**Canadian Citizen Dies in ICE Custody Amidst Immigration Crackdown**

MIAMI — Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old Canadian citizen, died Monday while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center in Miami. ICE announced the death on Wednesday, stating that Noviello was found unresponsive around 1 p.m. Medical staff attempted resuscitation, but he was pronounced dead by Miami Fire Rescue at 1:36 p.m. The cause of death is currently under investigation.

ICE has notified the Canadian consulate of Mr. Noviello’s death. The Canadian consulate did not immediately return phone and email requests for comment on Thursday.

Noviello entered the U.S. in 1988 with a legal visa status and became a lawful permanent resident in 1991. However, he was arrested by ICE on May 15th at the Florida Department of Corrections probation office after being convicted in Volusia County, Florida, in October 2023 of racketeering and drug trafficking and sentenced to 12 months in prison. Court records show that Mr. Noviello and his father were arrested and charged in 2017 with selling drugs, including hydrocodone and oxycodone, at an auto sales shop in Daytona Beach, Fla. ICE said he was being held pending removal proceedings due to violations of U.S. drug laws.

His death comes amidst a broader crackdown on immigration under President Trump, which has seen increased ICE arrests across the country. Noviello is the 10th person to die in ICE custody this year and the fourth death in custody in Florida, according to the agency’s website.
